Is that right Jackmohan? From the wisdom of your statement, perhaps you should have applied from the job. You sound way over a 100 anyway :)

I don't really get it when you speak of larger section / the masses. Are you referring to the deprieved people, mainly in villages? Or people who are busy in metro and other larger cities who are too busy in their lives to realize this change?

Well there still is a difference I feel. If we're talking of a poor person or a family living in a village, then nothing at all is historic for them. Whether its a Indian team winning the world cup or having first ever woman president. I guess what really would be historic for them is having 24 hours of electricity and water!

As for the people leaving in cities and town, I think majority of people are quite abreast with the news there. And for sure we all know its a historic day in Indian political scenario to have a first woman as the president. Maybe they already know how to use it to their advantage. Atleast the political parties know for sure!

I agree the women you and me probably interact or mingle on personal/professional front nothing is that bad with them.Look at larger section the masses.How does historical moment change anything for them?

Yeah was hearing about it on the news on radio this morning. "A historic day in making today as President APJ Abul Kalam makes way for India's first woman President."

President has not may powers in our country. So there's very little 'change' in terms of development and women empowerment anyway. But yes it is indeed a historic thing to have a first ever WOMAN as India's President, thats quite a change isn't it?

This is regardless to the mails that have been floating around about Pratibha Patil's past and the big goof ups she did with a bank she started. Well if you wanna be little generous and let Mr. Bush get away with so much, I guess she's entitled for forgiveness from her past.

Btw, what 'change' are you talking about? I think women are not doing so bad in India as you've potrayed in your post.
